Have your dreams become buried under the aimless details of everyday life? Is your attention too often dominated by trivial things to the point where there's no time or energy remaining for that which truly matters?
There is a beautiful and powerful meaning to your life under all the noise. Of course you know that. It pays to remember often. When the details and complexities seem overwhelming, keep in mind that there is much, much more to life.
Give time, thought, value and expression to those things which are truly important to you, and those things in turn will bring a depth of richness to your life.

With everything that has happened in my life for the past 48 hours, this quote just rings so true to me. I tried to help a friend but it backfired on me. But what I was trying to say to this person I still stand by. Ralph S. Marston just said it better.
I just thought I should share it with you, in case you find yourself in the same position as I am sometimes. Life can get so busy and so many things keep flying at us that 1) we don't know what to do about it, 2) when we figure out what to do, we don't know what to do first, 3) we can't see how we are acting to other people and 4) we are overstressing in ways that we shouldn't and become destructive to ourselves and everyone around us.
I hope that your situation doesn't end up like mine (with a friendship that is uncertian now) but I have learned from the fall out. I can take those lessons and apply them to my future relationships and to this one in particular. I know what to do (or rather what not to do) the next time this happens. It'll take a while to figure out if there will be a next time in this relationship but sometimes that's what we all need: a little time.
